AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Utah law currently defines a list of "non-fee courses"—core subject areas where public schools cannot charge students fees—including English language arts, health education, mathematics, science, and social studies. This bill would remove science from that protected list, meaning that starting July 1, 2026, schools would be permitted to charge students fees for science courses, while English language arts, health education, mathematics, and social studies would remain fee-free.
